Hi guys
Just a heads up. It looks like they're putting in a fixed speed camera in Maheno about 300m from the south boundry facing south.
Should be a good little earner for them as not many would slow in time coming round the corner going downhill.

Cheers for that.

Being the technophobe I am and not knowing where to look - can anyone tell me the dates for the September Pissed Penguin Rally please ?? It always a good night at that rally, even if the weather usually gets a bit damp in the evening the band and dancing is safely under the covers

20/21st September

OK OK - thank you
I guess the blossom festival will be the following weekend then which would make a good day trip or overnighter

How long is the Gravel Bent Sprint guys? I read 500m somewhere, doesn't seem very long for a gravel sprint, can that be right?

No Problemo

Cant remember last time was at blossom festival could be a good excuse for a ride if weathers good.

Anyone go to the Bronz mid winter do ?? - they got the dates a bit fucked up in the mag (ie day and date didn't match) but I presume it was on tonight? How did it go?
This weather is getting to be a right pain - bloody Tiger was going to get a decent blow out this weekend but its bad enough on the ATV or slithering around on the dirt bikes for a wee while. Maybe I need to change my avatar for a summer pic and see if that improves things ??

I did it last year and its longer than that. It was a good mixed course hard gravel road, soft gravel tracks, a small drop off, some smallish jumps. It was a real interesting and fun track they laid out an I managed to get around OK despite my crap off road skills. Enter the clubmans and you get twice as many runs too! Sign in is 11 am Milners Pit opposite the Taieri Golf Club.

the results of boredom brought on by lack of riding....
oh and the bloody doctors want to delay making a decision about taking the silverware out by another 3 months.

so, since it turns out i still can fit a sprotsbike i'm hopefully going to be back soon. (just got to well and truly deal with the weak arm first)
